Our Wall of Beans art project celebrates the stunning diversity of beans - from speckled heirlooms to striped rarities - as a way to spark curiosity, awaken cultural memory, and invite deeper questions about where seeds come from and why they matter. Each photo is a step in our collective effort to preserve seed varieties and the stories they carry.

Through our ongoing bean project, students, faculty, alumni, and other members of our community are growing beans tied to their heritage, researching ancestral varieties, and contributing photos and stories back to our seed library. Together, we’re building a living archive - one seed, one story, one season at a time.
